Arthur The Brave One -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-Welcome! (6/28/2008 13:33:28)

You have so many poems it scares me ^_^; (JK :P)

Anyway, I noticed this verse when glancing over your 'legend':


quote:

"Why me?" he asked, with amazement and awe.
What, in him, could have the Goddess foresaw?
"I am Mother Nature" she said at last,
"I am the present, the future and the past."


The bolded sentence has terrible grammar, but I don't have any suggestions to make it better BO the rhyme scheme.

It may be a matter of personal opinion, but I'd change the italicized sentence to this:

"I'm Mother Nature" she said at last,
"I am present, future and past."


Hope it helped, loving your poetry :)



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-Welcome! (6/28/2008 16:59:21)

New!! Life's Lessons

Thank you Arthur! I so appreciate your comment. I will take a look at that and see what I can do to fix it. Will post edited version when complete. Don't be scared of the number of them, rejoice in all that reading material. [;)]

edited version of "Legend"



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-Welcome! (6/30/2008 20:00:51)

New!! For Love of Dragons



Firefly -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (6/30/2008 20:15:54)

Nice new poem, Garnet. Nothing much to pick at. Though I'm a fan of depressed and emo poetry, it's a nice change for some positive fantasy once in a while too. Keep up the good work! ^_^



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/1/2008 7:02:06)

haha, thanks Firefly! if ya want more depressed and emo then check out the following: Death Does Not Care, Still, Lend a Hand, Eulogy, Death's Sweet Embrace. you will find them towards the bottom of Section 3-Potluck of poems. everything in contents is posted in the same order as listed if that helps. thanks again for the comment! I appreciate it very much!



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/3/2008 20:43:57)

New!! A Hardened Heart



Firefly -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/3/2008 20:59:58)

quote:

Seeking places of darkness, so to shrink and hide.

I think it flows and balances better as: "Seeking places of darkness, so to shrink and to hide."

quote:

My heart has been hardened by those I've seen.

Two parts don't balance out. Hmm: "My heart has been hardened by those that I have seen."

quote:

They beat you down,
to make you frown.

Dunno if it's fine or if it's better as "one" since you transition from "me" to "you" far too quickly, imo.

quote:

Sometimes I wonder what hardened their heart.

Again, I think it flows better as: "Sometimes I wonder what has hardened their heart." Extra syllable seems to balance it.

quote:

Melting the hearts of ones cold as steeel.

Extra "e" lol.

quote:

The truth finally exposed, that life is not fair.

Third words: So. Damn. Right.

Once again, you've impressed me with your great approach to subjects and powerful statements that are a good balance of abstract and concrete. Sift through the suggestions and take only what you want. Keep it up, Garnet! ^_^



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/3/2008 21:20:25)

thank you so much Firefly! will fix that up in the morning. sorry about that little typo too, thought I caught everything. I had a feeling you would like that one [;)] once I get it all fixed I will post the edited version.



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/4/2008 7:30:16)

ok here is the edited version A Hardened Heart-edited hope that looks better. I did make one small edit on the original but it was only the typo.



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/6/2008 8:14:29)

New!! Isle in the Mist



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/8/2008 6:40:43)

New!! Power of the Monsoon



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/10/2008 6:43:43)

New!! Pressure



Firefly -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/10/2008 23:48:46)

I've decided to read the "emo" poems you recommended. I found a typo in Lend a Hand:

quote:

Can others forget their personal grred?


Also, I read Sweet Visions. One thing wrong:

quote:

for the Lord of the Rings.

Now, the "Lord of the Rings" is actually the big bad dark lord. I dunno if Frodo was actually looking for him... He was technically just looking for the Mountains of Doom of toss the ring in... Had he met the "Lord of the Rings..." Well, he'd be dead, lol.

I also decided to read The Vampire's Curse because I'm pro-vamp. Didn't read to critique, but the last line:

quote:

with a hunger he can never sate.

I might be wrong, but just checking to make sure you didn't mean to write "sedate" here, did you?

Oh, and I noticed you forgot to centre the poem "Dragon"

I also read The Vampire's Quest... *sniff sniff* It was sad... And beautiful...

All very lovely poems, Garnet. Sorry for the lack of true critiquing. My computer is being really stupid... *sorryhugs*



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/11/2008 6:41:04)

arrrrrrrrrgggggggg. stupid typos. lol. the bane of my existence...sigh. will go fix that and Sweet Visions as that was kind of a typo thing as well-was thinking one thing and typed another-hate it when i do that. The word "sate" is used correctly in The Vampire's Curse. sate: to appease (as a thirst) by indulging to the full. I believe that is fitting enough, don't you? do not feel bad if you have not been able to critique for a while. i know you have tons of things to critique. I just wonder what happened the small handful of readers who used to comment regularly. only you and arthur have commented since we went through the purge and re-approval process. just find it kinda strange.....anyway, thanks for pointing those stupid typos out. going to go fix those now. oh, and the one called "Dragon" was not centered on purpose. If you read the 1st letter of each line straight down you will see why. [;)]



Firefly -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/11/2008 11:46:34)

It's more so the fact my computer might blow up any minute rather than busyness (though that's also a factor).

Well, Eukara is outta town atm... As for others... Well, Dragonboy's gone, and people might be busy.

Yeah, I had a feeling "sate" was really a word, but I didn't dare open another window to Word or Dictionary.com to check because I might've froze the computer...



r0de0b0y -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/11/2008 12:29:06)

Woot! You're back! Now all I need is Anon Y Mous. Funny, but now that I've read a few of these(specially Life's Lesson), I don't feel so depressed anymore. Thank you Jesus...or karma...or whatever.



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/11/2008 19:54:59)

@Firefly: I know you have been having probs with your computer. I've seen you mention it before. I did not know Eukara was out of town. I know Dragonboy is gone but just from here. so, didja find the not so hidden word in "Dragon"?

@r0de0b0y: Hi! good to see you here! So glad I could help in breaking your depression! [:)]

Hey! now I've had 3 people besides me comment here! Woot! It's a party! wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!![:D] (sorry, couldn't resist)



Firefly -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/11/2008 20:04:42)

*brings cake* Party!!!

I, er, didn't read Dragon. I only noticed that it wasn't centred. However, I looked at it now, and I understand. Wonderful rhyme acrostic!



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/11/2008 20:22:48)

thank you , dear lady. I aim to please. [:)] I thought that was pretty clever of me too..hee hee *ooh, she brought cake....



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/13/2008 7:59:50)

New!! Death of a Dynasty



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~For Love of Dragons (7/16/2008 6:54:43)

New!! Spirit Seeker



Eukara Vox -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~Spirit Seeker (7/19/2008 0:05:52)

Garnet!!!!

*pokes Garnet back and then snugs*

You're right. I do like Spirit Seeker. I loved the rhythm and the rhyme. But I loved more the description and last line.

Wonderful!



garnetdragoness -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~Spirit Seeker (7/19/2008 7:17:57)

hahaha I poked you to read "Pressure" but that's ok. Thank you! I had fun writing "Spirit Seeker". New one coming soon!



Eukara Vox -> RE: Poetic Alchemy-Comments III-NEW~Spirit Seeker (7/19/2008 9:47:50)

Doh! I am a moron...

..who can't read.

Though, funnily I did read Pressure too, though why I didn't mention that last night, I have no idea. *note to self - do not follow directions after 11 pm* And totally agree with the entire thing. That is definitely one I will use in my class.

Speaking of, I have no idea what age I will be teaching. If it is 3-6 grade, I will teach stuff like limerick, AABB, ABAB, haiku, etc. Or, if I am teaching 7-12 grade, I will teach those plus epic, sonnet and such types of poetry.

But I don't find out until 3 weeks before class begins...

Anyway, your poetry is either so much fun to read or so applicable. I love it, as always.
